WHITE RIVER Rainbow trout fishing is excellent with live worms or a small amount of PowerBait and shrimp. Rooster Tails with a gold blade and pink body or a Blue Fox with a rainbow blade and gold bell under an overcast sky are working very well, too, as are No. 5 Rapala Countdowns. Brown trout are hitting sculpins on the bottom.
NORFORK TAILWATER Some nice midge and sporadic caddis hatches have provided limited top-water action. The most productive flies have been small midge patterns (sizes 18, 20, 22) like ruby midges, root-beer midges, zebra midges (black or red with silver wire and silver bead) and soft hackles (sizes 14, 16) like the Green Butt. Egg patterns have been productive. Double-fly nymph rigs have been very effective. Try a small bead-headed nymph (zebra midge, Copper John or pheasant tail) suspended 18 inches below a brightly colored San Juan worm (hot fluorescent pink or cerise, size 10). The fishing is better in the morning.

LAKE HAMILTON TAILWATER Water levels are normal after days of open flood gates. Bank fishermen are catching rainbow trout on waxworms or mealworms floated just off the bottom with a marshmallow floater. Redworms or nightcrawlers are also effective presented in the same manner. Fly fishermen are catching limits of fish casting white or yellow egg patterns, or red or hot pink San Juan worms under strike indicators. Spin fishermen are catching rainbows with silver or gold Super Dupers near rock structures.
